As much as I would have liked Ariza, he is not desperately needed. It would be great though to eliminate two or more roster spaces trading Neal, Blair to make room for further improvements (Mo Williams, Ariza, Oden and of course our rook D Thomas)

I don't understand your logic, without Neal or Blair we still only have one roster spot left. Unless another team wants to take on two other contracts from us, we're only getting one of those three.
